My talent is 1.

With abundant resources, Zhong Wuyai began upgrading the warehouse again.

Having learned from his previous experience, Zhong Wuyai only began to take action after upgrading the town's warehouse to level 4.

[Treasure Trove of Heaven and Earth]

Durability: 1000/1000

Capacity: 500000

Ordinary members of Xianyang Palace can expand their storage capacity by a maximum of 50000 slots, elite members by a maximum of 80000 slots, elders by 150000 slots, vice presidents by 300000 slots, and presidents by 500000 slots.

Currently open guild: Xianyang Palace

Regular players can only use the normal inventory.

Damn, I'll never have to worry about not having enough space again.

"Bai Xiaoniu, call everyone to the base warehouse to expand the capacity, and also call the people from Blooming. I'll grant them access."

This warehouse is amazing! A normal warehouse only has a hundred slots, but this Heavenly Treasure Vault has increased that by five hundred.

Zhong Wuyai added a 1 after the blueprint, making 11 blueprints. Although they were all the same, this one was practically priceless.

[Auction House Construction Blueprints]

……

Each major city, including the capital, has at most one auction house.

Once a player builds a settlement or town, it is impossible to build a second one there unless it is destroyed and rebuilt.

Auction house profits are terrifying. Not to mention anything else, Zhong Wuyai's +10 equipment, even level 10 bronze equipment, is now priced at one million gold coins.

This means they have to spend at least 1.5 million to get promoted, and the success rate is very low.

If it weren't for the low equipment level, the starting price would be two million.

Player auction fees range from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 25%, with prices varying depending on the quality of the item.

But even with a 10% commission, Zhong Wuyai still made a killing at his own auction house.

From now on, auctioning items will ensure I never run out of gold coins.

"What did you call us here for? The city walls aren't even finished yet. And there's no need to rush to expand the warehouses."

"Take a look at the warehouse yourself before you speak!"

"A treasure trove of heaven and earth?...Is this a warehouse?"

"My God, 5 storage units! Vice President, can you give me some money? I need to expand my storage."

"Vice President, give it to me first. There's nowhere to put the dismantled resources. Everyone in the guild's inventory is almost full."

"Vice President, look~..."

"Get out, get out of here, all of you... I have no money..."

Shen Mengli immediately spent 500,000 gold coins to expand her grid by 100.

Five thousand gold coins per square, that's quite an expense.

"Give me all the materials, I'll keep them for now. Just come and get whatever you need."

Zhong Wuyai smiled; gold coins were really scarce right now...

"How many gold coins does Zhang Haitao have left to buy territory tokens?"

"Over six hundred thousand? What happened?"

"Use it. From now on, one garrison token will only cost 50 gold coins, but there's a condition."

"Hey, get this straight, this is a garrison order..."

"Look at this~..."

After speaking, Zhong Wuyai handed over the blueprints for the auction house.

"From now on, the price for a garrison order will be either 150 million gold coins or 50 gold coins plus a plot of land. The tax rate cannot exceed 8%, otherwise we will not sell it."

"You mean, we're building an auction house on their territory...?"

"Yes, the garrison order will be issued sooner or later, so we might as well build the auction house in advance. Unless they abandon the city, we'll monopolize the auction house's profits for a long time. Why worry about money?"

"This... this is even fine if it's given away for free. All the players' profits come from buying and selling. If the auction house lowers its commission, it can almost monopolize the trading of all rare items."

Ordinary items can be sold at a stall, but who wouldn't want to sell rare items for a high price? Auction houses are undoubtedly the best choice.

"Let's build the auction house first. Everything else can wait. After the equipment auction is over and we have enough funds, let's expand everyone's storage space."

"How about you make a few level 50 +10 equipment pieces to keep as backup? Our own people can use them too. Once they reach level 50, you can sell them for 500 million each, and then you can sell those upgrade stones as well."

"Wait until they reach level 50. Without experiencing the hardship of strengthening them, it will be difficult to sell them for a good price. For now, sell all the crystals you can. You won't lack these things in the future."

Even a fully tempered 10-star piece of equipment yields a large amount of materials when disassembled, not to mention crystals; I've accumulated quite a few epic crystals.

Currently, each epic crystal costs over five thousand and is difficult to buy, while the people of Xianyang Palace have no use for them at all.

Of course, you can't sell too much of this at once, otherwise the price will drop. Also, crystal is a consumable item, so it's a long-term business.

Other players also need to save money, and large guilds won't waste all their money on this...

"Since we have enough crystals, why do we need to make silver equipment? Can't we just make all gold and unique equipment?"

"Do you have enough Dark Gold materials?"

"Isn't this being saved up?"

Are items crafted from epic materials also unique?

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Then use epic materials to make it. You'll definitely need to change it when you reach level 80 or 90... But don't make it right now. I don't have time to upgrade you guys. Get your base buildings ready first."

"You said it... I want them all fully tempered!"

That's enough for you.

"What if I can't win and get bullied?"

"Who can bully you?... It's good enough that you don't bully anyone."

Besides myself, this woman has the most ten-star equipment, and some of it is fully tempered. Who can beat her?

"Oh, right, this is for you, from the Ye family. The equipment has already been given."

"So fast? I thought I'd have to wait a while longer."

Zhong Wuyai looked at the skill book for the Injury-Bearing Arrow, thought for a moment, and decided not to use the Azure Dragon Seal. He was currently immune to physical and magical damage, so he decided to wait and see.

Where can I get a scroll of laws?

"In the Arena, the first player to reach 10000 Arena Points can receive one of three items: legendary equipment, legendary pet, or special item."

The first two can be ruled out directly, as you can make them yourself at any time. If you have the Law Scroll Chaos among the special items, you can make it up then, and that will give you 21 scrolls.

How do I open the arena?

"The arena will automatically open when the nation war begins."

"You can start building. Once the city wall is built, you don't need to worry about it anymore. The same goes for the other buildings; just upgrade them to level 2 or 3, don't upgrade them too much."

"Okay... What are you planning to do?"

"Never mind that, just listen to the announcement."

Zhong Wuyai first arrived at the mage tower in the capital. He hadn't originally planned to learn the Magic Missile skill, but most mage skills were ineffective against building units, and only Magic Missile could deal damage.

Zhong Wuyai had no choice but to learn magic missiles...

【Magic Missile Lv.1】

Active skills

Locks onto the target, concentrates magical energy into a magic ball, and releases it to deal damage to the target.

It deals 40% damage to mechanical units and 30% damage to building units.

Mana cost: 10

Damage bonus: 50% magic attack

Release distance: 80

Cooldown: 2.5 seconds

Damage range: Single target damage.

Without even thinking, upgrade... After maxing it out, immediately advance to the next level. Although it costs a lot of skill points, the effect is really strong.

However... [Forgotten]... skill points are really expensive, so I'll reinvest them for now.

After forgetting the max-level Elemental Missile, 24 points were returned. Zhong Wuyai moved 1 to it, and his skill points immediately became 318.

Learn the Magic Missile skill again, level it up to the maximum... advance it... and then continue to level it up to the maximum.

【Elemental Missile Lv.5 (Max)】

Active skills

Locks onto the target, concentrates magical energy into a single element, and releases it upon the target, dealing massive damage.

It deals 80% damage to mechanical units and 55% damage to building units.

Elemental missiles grant bonuses to all elemental attacks.

Mana cost: 25

Damage bonus: 75% magic attack

Release distance: 120

Cooldown: 1 seconds

Damage range: Single target damage.

With his skills sorted out, Zhong Wuyai now had the ability to damage buildings, so he didn't care about anything else.

Now... Dragon Empire, here I come...

Zhong Wuyai arrived in front of the teleportation portal. It was once a month, so he would use it this month.

Upon activating the interdimensional teleportation, Zhong Wuyai chose the Demon Dragon Empire.

[Ding, please select a lower price]

Aside from the border fortress, other areas of the Dragon Empire are not yet accessible by teleportation because I haven't been there. The border fortress, however, is accessible because of the border war between the two countries.

After clicking again and spending 10000 gold coins, Zhong Wuyai appeared in front of the border fortress of the Demon Dragon Empire.

The fortress gate was over ten meters high. Zhong Wuyai thought to himself, who the hell could come here before level 80 except for himself?

Of course, today's task isn't to dismantle the fortress; we need to deal with the border boss first.

Only after defeating the border boss can you attack the fortress.

【Fantasy Dragon】

Border BOSS

Imperial Divine Beast

grade:???

According to the information provided by Bai Xiaoniu.

The border bosses are all level 99, but they have no laws. Although they have wings, they don't fly, and they all have 100 billion HP.

The most troublesome thing about this thing is its immunity to crowd control; it reduces all damage by 50%, and its true damage immunity is also 50%. This immunity cannot be reduced, and ignoring the reduction is ineffective.

It has high resilience and reduces total critical hit damage by 50%.

Attacks deal fixed damage; no matter how high the player's defense or magic defense is, the damage they take is fixed. Damage reduction can also be applied, but it's unclear how much it can be reduced.

In my previous life, I could only fight border bosses after level 90, and border bosses didn't respawn unless a new country was created.

However, this kind of BOSS, Zhong Wuyai, is the one I like the most, without so many messy effects.

With physical immunity, magic immunity, and control immunity, plus a magic shield, dealing with this kind of boss is incredibly easy.

Gatling gun fireball! ...Fire rain! Gatling gun fireball! ...

The other skills are pretty useless; these two are the most effective.

However, even Erosion can only clear 7.5% of the health bar. I wonder if Annihilation will also reduce it.

"Roar~..."

The Divine Illusionary Dragon opened its mouth, and a purple lightning ball gradually took shape before blasting towards Zhong Wuyai.

Zhong Wuyai did not dodge, but activated his magic shield. Although it provided immunity to damage and control effects, the Divine Illusion Dragon dealt fixed damage, so it was uncertain whether it would ignore the damage reduction.

"Bang!" Boom boom boom...

Miss…Miss…-80000…

Apart from the 80,000 true damage, the rest was reduced.

Zhong Wuyai was relieved.

Continuing... Gatling Fireball...

Although 18% magic life steal isn't high, it's no match for Zhong Wuyai's terrifying damage. A series of fireballs quickly restored his health to full.

With 10 billion lives, fighting them is quite a hassle.

Zhong Wuyai was stomped down by the Divine Illusionary Dragon and sent flying.

Although I wasn't dizzy, the skill failed to be released.

The effect of the fire rain came into play at this moment.

A dozen or so rain of fire have already been laid out, dealing more than ten instances of damage per second. Combined with each triggered basic attack, the damage per second has become terrifying.

The head of the mystical demon was covered with a dense array of numbers...

Zhong Wuyai kept throwing fireballs and raining flames, and soon the Divine Illusionary Demon Dragon's health bar dropped to 50%.

A divine shield has appeared, granting immunity to all damage.

The Five Elements attack remains unaffected, except... the Erosion has already been triggered, and the requirements for Annihilation have not yet been met.

[Server-wide announcement: Canglong Empire player Zhong Wuyai is attacking the border boss, Divine Illusionary Demon Dragon, of the Demon Dragon Empire. The Demon Dragon Empire's border is in dire need of assistance. Please provide support as soon as possible.]

[Server-wide announcement...]

Three server-wide announcements in a row left everyone completely bewildered...

The world chat channel exploded...

"Hahaha, the Great God Wuya is about to break in! The Demon Dragon Empire is finished!"

"Damn it, why can't we get to the border?!"

"It's not a boss from our Flame Dragon Empire that we can't get in."

"What the hell is going on? How did Zhong Wuyai get there?"

"The Boss Wuya is always so unconventional, breaking the rules so easily."

"The Dragon Empire can travel directly to the border fortress via the capital's teleportation array, but... no one dares to leave the fortress!"

"Haha, so what are you guys going to do?"

"I'm from the Dragon Kingdom. What do you think we're here for? Of course, we're here to cheer on the Great God Wuya."

"You bastards! I regret not taking Jarvis's offer to kill you all!"

"Ridiculous, do you even think you can kill them?"

"All players in the Dragon Empire, regardless of your nationality, will be at a significant disadvantage if the border fortress BOSS dies. Although we don't know what will happen, the losses will definitely be borne by everyone."

"Tch, so what if they're dead? Let them all die quickly, and wipe out this country as well. I'm getting sick of running dungeons every day."

"That's right, Wuya, keep it up! Quickly destroy the Demon Dragon Empire!"

"Zhong Wuyai, I am the guild leader of the Barbas Guild. Our guild has not done anything detrimental to players from the Dragon Kingdom. We are not your enemy."

"Our Rhine Guild rejected Jervis's invitation and did not join the Eagle's alliance; we are not your enemy!"

……

"I am Hewitt Charlie! All players of the Dragon Empire, charge to the front lines! We must stop Zhong Wuyai at all costs!"

Zhong Wuyai didn't care about anything else at this time. After hearing the announcement, he slowed down his attack frequency, stopped attacking after recovering full health, and attacked the BOSS to recover health after losing more than half of his health.

This isn't a BOSS at all; it's practically a trap set up for the Demon Dragon Empire.

Soon, the first batch of pioneering players from the Dragon Empire arrived.

There were tens of thousands of people, densely packed together.

The gates of the fortress opened, and they all rushed in at once.

Zhong Wuyai remained calm and waited for them to approach before casting a Fire Rain spell at his feet.

Then... Chain Lightning... Flame Wave... Flame Wave...

No matter how you attack, it's an instant kill; hundreds of thousands of magic attack power is no joke.

[Ding! Killed player Sandru from the Dragon Empire, merit +1]... [Ding ding ding ding~...]

A series of prompts left Zhong Wuyai somewhat bewildered. Merit points? Military ranks were activated?

Upon opening the panel, Zhong Wuyai found nothing and was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that he would only be able to see his merits once the national war began.

The players of the Dragon Empire were stunned. Although many had heard from the Dawn Guild members how monstrous Zhong Wuyai was, many thought it was an exaggeration, since losers like to make excuses.

Moreover, even if Zhong Wuyai has a high level and high damage, and a few hundred people can't do anything to him in guild wars, how can tens of thousands of people not do anything to him?

Only when they truly faced off did they realize that they had underestimated Zhong Wuyai and overestimated themselves.

Even if hundreds of thousands of people came, it wouldn't make a difference, let alone ten thousand.

"What the hell is this skill? I just left the fortress gate and died again!"

"Does Zhong Wuyai's skill have no cooldown?"

"Damn it, what kind of situation is this?... I just saw him use his skill, and before I could even run away, he used the same skill again."

"Just how wide is the range of this skill? I died and came back before I even left the fortress gates!"

……

Jervis remained silent throughout, nor did he go to the fortress. He knew better than anyone how monstrous Zhong Wuyai was.

We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them. Once we're out of the safe zone, there's no escape.

But is the safe zone at the border fortress truly safe? The other side isn't from the Demon Dragon Empire at all.

Jervis seemed to have vanished without a trace, remaining completely silent from beginning to end.

After Charlie arrived at the border fortress, he learned of Zhong Wuyai's terrifying power and was at a loss for what to do.

More than 100,000 players of the Dragon Empire stood on the fortress walls, watching Zhong Wuyai fight the border boss.

"Not coming out?"

Zhong Wuyai was somewhat annoyed. After taking a few hits, he used a barrage of fireballs to fully restore his health.

Open the skill panel and increase the attack range of Elemental Missiles to 1210.

Isn't that better?

Although the Flame Wave can reach that far, it cannot deal with the Demon Soul Defense Tower.

This is a border defense tower. We don't know what level it is yet, but its range is definitely not short.

Zhong Wuyai directly called out the names of the people on the city wall from below.

Casting speed is now more than doubled, and elemental missiles are flying upwards with a whooshing sound...

"Is Zhong Wuyai crazy? Launching magic missiles from that far away?"

"Who knows? But the border boss's shield lasts for 30 seconds, and it's almost gone."

"This doesn't look like a magic missile. The color is different, and the size is also wrong."

then……

"Holy crap... that missile is still flying, it's already coming!"

"What the hell is going on?... Can magic missiles really hit this far?"

Zhong Wuyai had already launched more than ten before the others reacted, but it was too late for those who were targeted to escape; the elemental missiles were locked on and quite fast...

[Ding... Ding...]

Boom! The Divine Illusionary Dragon's claws slammed down, causing little damage, but they slammed Zhong Wuyai into the ground. Zhong Wuyai wasn't controlled and was still able to use his skills.

Zhong Wuyai felt very frustrated by having to use his skills like this.

Let's deal with this beast first; he's always causing trouble.

Gatling gun fireball... Gatling gun fireball...

At this moment, Zhong Wuyai ignored everything else and kept unleashing a barrage of fireballs.

The shield quickly disappeared, and the damage from the fireballs increased dramatically.

The true damage is 54000. Even if half of it is negated, each fireball can trigger twice, plus the elemental attacks and hundreds of thousands of spell damage.

There are also various critical hits... a single barrage of fireballs can deal over 70 million damage.

It has to be said that the damage reduction from the Border Boss is quite high, with total critical hit damage halved and the high resilience further reducing the probability of critical hits.

Zhong Wuyai was even tempted to change his equipment to achieve 100% critical hit rate.

The fireballs came at a very high frequency, and the Divine Illusion Dragon couldn't withstand them at all. At its fastest, six fireballs were attacking simultaneously.

The boss's health bar dropped rapidly... all the way down to 10%...

[Ding! You have defeated the Divine Illusionary Dragon, the border boss of the Demon Dragon Empire, and have earned 100000 merit points.]

[Server-wide Announcement: Congratulations to the Azure Dragon Empire player for defeating the Divine Illusionary Dragon, the border boss of the Demon Dragon Empire! Reward: 1 Imperial Medal]

[Server-wide Announcement: The Nation War has officially begun, and the Chaotic Battlefield is now open. Players from all nations can use the Royal Capital Teleportation Array to enter the Imperial Border Fortress and unlock military ranks.]

[Server-wide Announcement: Arena Now Open]

A series of announcements overwhelmed everyone.

Zhong Wuyai didn't care about all that. He would put the arena aside for now, since he was sure he would get first place anyway.

Now that we're here, it would be disrespectful not to mention a few towers from the Dragon Empire.

Then... a long way off, elemental missiles flew out of Zhong Wuyai's hands and headed towards the defensive towers of the border fortress of the Demon Dragon Empire.

[Server-wide announcement: Azure Dragon Empire player Zhong Wuyai is attacking the Demon Dragon Empire's border fortress. The Demon Dragon Empire's border is in dire need of attention!]

"Oh my god, it's really gone!"

"Indeed, they've already started attacking the fortress!"

"What is the Great Boss Wuya planning? Is he going to take down the Demon Dragon Empire all by himself?"

"Who knows? But if it's Zhong Wuyai, it might actually be possible."

"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy! I'm not even level 30 yet, and they're already fighting an entire empire."

"Holy crap, the arena requires level 20 or higher to enter, and I'm only level 19."

"That's good. There are less than 1% of White Elephant players in the Azure Dragon Empire who are level 15 or above. If you work a little harder, you'll get in."

"That's right, things are better on the Holy Dragon Empire side, there are almost a thousand people above level 20."

"There are so many level 50 players in Xianyang Palace, what the hell are you going to do?"

"Holy crap, I'd completely forgotten. This is a perk of Xianyang Palace, it has absolutely nothing to do with us."

"That's not fair! It's so unfair!"

"Fairness? ...You typed out 'fairness' yourself, and then you say it's fair, so it's fair."

"What are you afraid of? The arena doesn't deduct resurrection attempts, so you can play as you like. How many people are there in Xianyang Palace? If everyone plays in the arena, most of the time you won't be matched with anyone from Xianyang Palace."

"That's true!"

"What's the point of even playing in the arena? Our border fortress tower is practically falling apart!"

"Serves you right!"
